We are spending the day at Tokkiero, south of Chalacatepec on the Pacific coast. Dennis spent the morning checking out our electrical wiring, to try and get the fridge working. A necessity in this climate. I have done some washing, but water is an issue. We have 20 litres for…
Well I’m back again. I arrived yesterday, in body, but was a complete zombie. The journey back was smooth and uneventful. Checked all the way through from Heathrow to Puerto Vallarta, so an easy connection in Mexico City. Best of all, Dennis and Poki were outside the arrival terminal to…
Firstly, Happy Birthday to Liz, Dennis’s little sister. 70 today. We said there would be no more blogs until we return to Mexico at the end of December. This isn’t a daily blog but a thank you to everyone who hosted us en route during stage two of our journey.…
We needed to do some maintenance on and tidying up in Poki, so we drove to the edge of the resort and found a quiet place with a large shady tree. After a hearty porridge breakfast, Dennis changed into his overalls and I set about cleaning out the food box,…
Rising slowly, as we weren’t in a hurry, I watched the water birds, while Dennis cooked porridge. We are parked close to the beach with a small lagoon on our left. Here there are large grey herons, small grey herons, large white herons and a large brown bird, like an…

Last night we had been chatting in the bar with an Aussie Guy, Mick. Although he sounded like an American having lived in San Diego for more than 20 years. He and his friends regularly come down to Baja on dirt bikes. He knows the area very well. This morning…
The drive to the Mexican border at Tijuana was lovely. We asked the Sat-Nav to take us on a non-motorway route, which she did. Through the mountains. It was very scenic but very winding too, so slow. Made slower by having to stop several times as the wooden electricity poles…
It was a beautiful silent night in the desert, after the most amazing sunset. Absolutely still with stars brightly twinkling. We were up by 8, but not in the mood to rush. Dennis changed a fuel filter before we left. I said in my last blog that Death Valley was…
Day 139. Monday, 30th September. From Boulder Creek Camp Ground South of Lone Pine to Shoshone RV Park, Shoshona. After a double breakfast, the campsite provided free coffee and muffins and we had our porridge too, we set off into Death Valley. My first impression was the vastness. It is…
